wait I fixed the problem. I copied the whole map in the editor onto a blank one and closed the buggy part. works fine now.

wont let me save it.

isn't that too much? surely the game engine can't handle a third faction?

Basically I'm making a map on RAED and I try to resize the bounds of the map and suddenly every time I do anything (click on the map or try to open the text file or save) its comes up with an error 'Access Violation at Address 00445139. Read of address 0F0F0F0F' Is there any way around this and try to keep my map stuff saved?

I can start testing tomorrow if you like I have plenty of free time.

the menu is usually a bit messed up do you have the RA launcher menu? (its a menu which opens things like RAED, Edwin, or the ant missions or normal RA)

well it seems to work fairly well so I tend not to complain.

play it in windowed mode?

yeah. although maintaining memory with war factories seems better.

hmmm I would play if it were the tournament for 'rookies' otherwise it just turns into some crappy pro-only clusterfuck.

I think I mammoth attacked it then placed a mammoth over the square and captured the hand of nod before putting a refinery over it.

I found 15 A quite easy as well. I'm not sure how I did 15 B but I can remember spamming mammoths before attacking the first NOD base.

Judging by what has been previously said I don't think it can be changed. We would probably need dedicated faction MCV's (like in RA2)

admittedly yes I think it's a shame the 2 factory types feature was lost when making red alert. I thought it was cool.

yeah 15B is annoying. I did beat it once.... once.

And yet that's not even a stock feature you have to modify the rules to get it anyway. And whats so bad about RA anyway? Ok so some of the online gameplay is quite dull *cough* P4 *cough* but some of it is much fun and many singleplayer missions are often gripping and fun.

what would the new features be?

yeah this sort of thing would be perfect for my mod as it changes most mix files.

yes that happens for me too pretty cool though, having huge resolutions and stuff

hires is amazing. It also causes a few smaller maps (particularly on TD) to glitch as the resolution is too large

plus the patched original is the one played on cncnet isn't it?

I am assuming that's in full-screen mode I think its because full-screen mode doesn't like imperfect resolutions and glitches out like that (or just crashes altogether) Try playing in windowed mode.

1. you cant, this was made before many advancements in ddraw 2. you need to change the .shp files for the flame colour using XCC mixer 3. not the worst problem and I can't think of any solutions

just paste all the changes into the text file the different changes you want can be tweaked in there according to the mission file

thats because of the limits of RA, and that building size and unit sprites are limited to the RA unit/building they're supposed to be 1. The rocket launcher is not considered as a turret, so it won't rotate 2. Thats because it is coded as an RA unit and is not specialised to have the seperate rocket graphics 3&4. The maximum graphics size of these buildings is too small for the Tiberian Dawn equivalent so they had to be shortened down to fit, its been done on a few units too (like the harvesters)
